Let’s play a game.

It’s called “Guess My Password.”

Is it:

  • Your dog’s name + your birth year? 🐾
  • The word “password” but with a 1 at the end to spice it up? ✨
  • Or the same password you’ve been using since secondary school but with a new capital letter because a website made you? 🚌

If you’re cringing right now, good.

If you’re thinking of someone in your office who definitely ticks one of those boxes, even better.

Because we’re here to talk about password managers. And more importantly, why the people you least expect to use them are the ones who most need them.

“But They’ll Never Cope With It!”

We hear this one a lot.

“He’s not very technical.”

“She still prints her emails.”

“They’ll never get the hang of a password manager.”

🔔 Here’s the twist: these are exactly the people who should be using one ‼️🔔

Why? Because if someone’s already struggling with passwords, they’re almost certainly using the same one (or two) for everything. And let’s be honest, those passwords are probably not winning any awards for strength.

Password123 … we’re looking at you.

Change Is Hard. At First.

Let’s not pretend otherwise, new habits can be annoying. Learning curves can feel more like walls. And yes, using a password manager for the first time can feel like being asked to land a plane with zero training.

But here’s a little real talk from personal experience:

It just takes a little time, and the right kind of support.

👩🏼‍💻 Week 1: Hated it. Forgot about it. Resented the whole thing.

 

👩🏼‍💻 Week 2: Something clicked. Things got easier.

👩🏼‍💻 Week 3: Never looked back. Life = simpler. Safer. Less “reset your password” rage.

Don’t throw a help page at the problem

Here’s where a lot of businesses go wrong. They send out a help document or link to a how-to set up your password manager video and expect everyone to suddenly become IT gurus.

Spoiler: if someone struggles with digital stuff, they’re not going to be wowed by your 43-slide tutorial deck.

Instead, here’s what works:

  • Give them a live demo (yes, with real humans)
  • Walk them through it, slowly, step-by-step
  • Let them repeat the process with you a few times
  • Encourage them to take notes, on paper (old school style), if that helps them learn
  • Be patient, this one’s a biggie

The goal isn’t to turn them into hackers. It’s to help them take one simple, secure step forward.

A Small Step for One User, a Giant Leap for Your Business

🌅 Here’s the big picture:

Getting someone who struggles with passwords to use a password manager means:

🔒 Unique, strong passwords for every login

🔒 Fewer security breaches

🔒 Fewer “I forgot my password” emails to IT

🔒 And a huge boost to your business’s overall security posture

Yes, it takes time.

Yes, it takes effort.

But it’s worth it.

Every. Single. Time.
